Mahalo for visiting my website to learn about myself and my candidacy for higher office. After 27 years in state and county government which includes 19 years in the Hawaii Legislature, I have made a decision to run for Lt. Governor of Hawaii.

The primary election is right around the corner, and It's imperative that you, your family, and your friends vote on primary day. Participating in our electoral process is a right and privilege we must not take lightly. Early walk-in voting and absentee ballots have made voting easier for all voters.

Today, I am concerned that our state is becoming a state of haves and have nots with the high cost of living and the high cost of housing. My intention is to work with you and all stakeholders and residents to provide affordable housing for all, help the homeless, improve our education system, create employment opportunities, and maintain safe neighborhoods. We must also be stewards of our environment so that our lands and ocean are safeguarded for all generations, present and future.

The conversation begins now for the future of our state. Let's be creative, think out of the box, and offer ideas to debate and consider. I offer new experienced leadership that will work for ALL the people of our state. It is our time. Together we can make the positive changes to improve Hawaii.Mahalo for your time and consideration. Will Espero​
